My Beautiful Niece - Page 1 Graduation

My beautiful niece, Katheryn, graduated from 8th grade this year. She's a very smart (4.0 GPA) and very beautiful young lady. It's hard to believe that she's in high school now. It just seems like yesterday that I was changing her diapers! (She'd say "Geez, Aunt Karen!" to that statement!! LOL!)

This LO is based on this sketch:

The sketch is super colorful - I love it. It inspired me to break open some Piggy Tales paper I just got that is so bright and colorful. Here's my take on the sketch:

The two tall guys on the right are my brother (6'5" tall) and my son (6'4" tall). This project included Piggy Tales paper, Trendy Twine, and some flowers... I used my Nestabilities die for the butterflies and hearts. It's hard to see in the picture but I used glitter and glossy accents on the hearts and butterfly.

Who I am

I'm a "second-time-around" happily married wife with two sons (age 18 and 19) and two step-sons (twins, 18). They're all boys and all live with us. Things get a little crazy at home sometimes, but it's a good kind of crazy. Lots to scrap about!
